scoring systems to assess severity of alcoholic hepatitis

					Cut-offs for non-severe/severe disease			Approximate 28-day survival if severe
Score	Formula				Low	High		Without treatment	With treatment
DF	4.5 (PT-control PT)+(bilirubin/17)				<32	32+		65%	80%
GAHS		1	2	3	<9	9+		50%	78%
	Age	<50	50+
	WCC	<1.5	1.5+
	Urea	<5	5+
	INR	<1.5	1.5–2	2+
	Bilirubin	<125	125–250	>250
ABIC	(age years×0.01)+(bilirubin mg/dL×0.8)+(creatinine mg/dL×0.3)+(INR×0.8)				<6.71	6.71–8.9	>8.9	NA	NA (6 months survival 0%)

For GAHS, each variable scores a defined number of points which add up to the final score.
ABIC, Age, Bilirubin INR and Creatinine; GAHS, Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score; PT, prothrombin time.
